Is there any way to alphabatize the Currently Active Users?

I'm guessing it's when we came on line, maybe.

If you are in a thread, left click on the Person's name. You'll get several options including
"View Public Profile" click on that.
You'll get more options including "Forum info which gives total posts and
"Find all posts by .....
and Find all threads started by......
COOL
If you are not in a thread and left click on the Person's name, say where it's listed on the first page as a poster, you'll go directly to the profile."

Now, here's what's new:
If you want to search for a particular post or thread by a known user, go to Search - Advanced search - Search by use Name --
Now you are given two choices, Find Posts or Find Threads - another timesaver.

Yeah, I suspect that too, though my name always stays at the front of the list. I just like browsing it real quick if I'm looking for someone and it was easier when it listed users alphabetically.

OK, I have to know ....do you get the same blue text color in Widescreen mode and in PT mode?

I really like the widescreen, but the blue text there is just too much for my eyes.

[Randi]

Hmm, I wonder why!

Uhh, I may not have explained well enough - I mean the titles of the threads. In fact, all the text on the Index page.

Kim, you can organize it any way you want. The headers at the top of the column, User Name, Last Activity (and I forget what else), are clickable, and will arrange the users according to what you pick.

Randi, yes, I also have different text colors -- blue and pink for widescreen, navy for Pet Talk view. I like the colors of the Pet Talk view better, but the widescreen is easier on the eyes. Attached are screen captures showign hte different text colors -- apparently not everyone sees the different colors.

[Freckles]

Wow, nothing like a picture to clear things up! I have the same problem and I think I know the answer.
I can remember from my vast two days of HTML class that there is a way to program code so that if you read certain text, it changes color so that you know you've read that before. Could it be that?

Yep, just tested it on a section I never read, and it changed color!!

I thought I might be able to change it back to blue by "mark forums read", but that didn't help.

Karen, I am at work now and can see the new and improved Pet Talk but I'm scared I won't be able to see Pet Talk anymore on my home computer....It runs Windows 95 and AOL 4.0....I'm scared I won't be able to sign on from home anymore. Do you know if I will still be able to or is this software far too advanced for my ancient computer?...I am way overdue for a new computer anyway and maybe this will just be more motivation to save for one....

As far as I know, it should work with the old AOL - you let me know if it doesn't, okay?

I've been playing with the calendar.
It's neat that now we can have our own personal calendars and put dates that are important to us alone on them!

Good job Paul and Karen!

??? I just tried to find the "cat calendar order" post using 'search' and got this message:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted at (null):0 (tried to allocate 35 bytes) in /home/httpd/vhosts/petoftheday.com/httpdocs/talk/search.php on line 979

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, or if the computer hiccuped at a bad time or what.... Any one seen this before?

[Jessika]

I checked my user CP and it still says I am invisible, but it still looks like I am visible to me. I thought it was that we would always look visible to ourselves. Kay if you are still online, you are invisible to me.

I don't know if this has already been answered, but when you are invisibie, you will still be visible to yourself, but no one else will see you

I just saw that too, Amberlee. I just clicked the "back" button and tried again, but did the advanced search instead.

[AmberLee]

I get fatal errors whether using the regular search or the advanced search. Rats.

[Kfamr]

I'm getting the same thing, AmberLee. Worker earlier today and previous days, though...
